Here’s how to install conda for multiple users.
- Download Miniconda install script from https://docs.anaconda.com/free/miniconda/index.html
wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
-OR-
curl -OLJ https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
-
Install Miniconda3
- Target directory: /usr/local/conda
- Activate base by default? No
sudo ./Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p /usr/local/conda
- Generate a global configuration
Create a system-wide configuration, /usr/local/conda/.condarc, to force to use system-wide
package cache and to skip activating base environment.
---
pkg_dirs: #!final
- /usr/local/conda/pkgs
auto_activate_base: false #!final
- Create a group and adjust permissions
Create a system group, conda-users and make the group owned all conda files/directories.
sudo groupadd -r conda-users
sudo chgrp -R conda-users /usr/local/conda
Make pkgs directory group-writable and set-gid so that any users in the conda-users group
can write/create files/folders and the files/directories have conda-users group.
sudo find /usr/local/conda/pkgs -type d -exec chmod g+ws {} \;
sudo find /usr/local/conda/pkgs -type f -exec chmod g+w {} \;
Optional) set umask 0002 for any shells.
echo "umask 0002" | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/umask.sh
To add user to the group:
sudo usermod -aG conda-users <user-id>
- Apply conda for any shells
sudo cp /usr/local/conda/etc/profile.d/* /etc/profile.d/
